| Re: Coachmen Prism class C motorhome | Tori | you all are all complaining about the price but have you really looked at what they are selling for? mid 60's! for the used units I have looked at by the time you buy it, repair and repair it, much less pay for gas at 6 to 8 mpg you would have been better off with the compact units! |
| Re: Coachmen Adrenaline Blast toy hauler | Cheryl & Ken | The problem we have is with the rear ramp door bubbling and pitting - clearly it is defective. Has anyone had these problems with theirs? The manufacturer is giving us a hard time with replacing it! Other than that we absolutely love it! |

| Re: Coachmen Capri Micro | Nancy | I have a 2007 Capri Micro 159 and it has been a very good trailer. i need to sell it so can get a larger unit.

| Re: Coachmen Spirit of America travel trailer | Chuck | I would have to say that the 2009 coachmen spirit of america that i purchased the end of April in 2008 has been nothing but a host of problems.
This is not my first trailer. I had a 2007 capri that had minor problems all covered under warranty. But when we decided to upgrade we got a lemon.
We used the 2009 twice in 2008 closed it up for the season. Opened it inmid June due to a very cold and rainy new england spring and found that when I had closed the slide out it had pealed the linoleum of the floor, I had also had the master bed come apart at the point where the piston held the bed up. I took it to my local dealer for repairs and was told that Coachmen had a 1 year warranty and all repairs were on me. The cost in excess of $3000.
Poor workmanship should not fall on the consumer.
We were able to take the trailer out 2 weeks later and upon hooking up to fresh water found that my water lines had burst under the sink and now I have no recourse but to try to warn others away from Coachmen who have no concern other than to get your money and leave any warranty issues to you.
Coincidentally Coachmen no longer warranties 2009 trailers they have sold the division to Four winds trailers who have no interest in paying for any prior defects in a Coachmen product.
So I am now stuck with a brand new trailer that a spent about $29,000and can't use.
Do your homework carefully before buying this product.
I hope others have better luck than me.

| Re: Coachmen Prism class C motorhome | Caroline | We've been looking for the right class C for a long time and I think we've found it. Looks beautiful. Really like the 240 plan. I guess the lounge and table are like a dinette. I gotta see it. Thanks. |
| Re: Coachmen M-Series small travel trailer | Retro Ray | I have trouble accepting a "lite" trailer that has a slide. Slides add a lot of weight! |
| Re: Coachmen Adrenaline Blast Toy Hauler | Bike couple in Alabama | We bought the 170 Blast and couldn't be happier. Just some minor additions and it makes a great little camper for the money.. sure beats sleeping in a tent. |
| Re: Coachmen M-Series small travel trailer | Capri lover | The version with the slide-out is perfect. I think this is the best little trailer I've seen and I've been looking for over a year. |
| Re: Coachmen Capri Micro | Bluegrasser | I have owned a Capri 179 model for two years. This is perfect for the weekender may be a week. Has all the comforts of a larger more expensive trailer. Outside stereo, gas grill connection, shower (sand, mud, etc)and sets up in 15 minutes or less. Whether hook ups or not I'm there. It pulls very well; no fish tail noted and at 75 mph. Has all the ammenities needed inside. Now I wished I had the toy hauler... |
| Re: Coachmen Capri Micro | Darthvagrant | I own a Coachmen "Capri" motorhome. It could only be a vastly superior coach if built by the Chinese. Gotta' give Coachmen credit, however. They were REAL close with the name. Drop the "i" and rearrange things and you have "Crap". |
| Re: Coachmen Concord class C motorhome | Dennis | You can't begin to call a Class C a comparison to a Class A, Try full-timing in a Class C ... |
| 2008 Coachmen Spirit of America | Rod Beatty | We've had 2 Coachmen travel trailers and have been happy with both. We now have a 2008 Spirit of America Since new we've spent more than 50 nights in it and have towed it more than 4000 miles. We have a Hensley hitch and love it, no problems. We've had a few problems as you get with any RV of course but nothing major and they've all been sorted under warranty. Good company. |
| Re: Coachmen Prism class C motorhome | vick | i love it. it's like a nice modern apartment. a step up from the freelander. i'm looking at a sprinter or freightliner class c as my first rv and this is the one i would buy if i won the lottery today !! p.s. great website |
| 2009 Coachmen M-Series small travel trailer | Kamping Girl | We bought the slide out version and LOVE it. Great quality and good use of space. The bed was pretty bad (aren't they all?) so we bought a foam memory topper and now it's great! |
| Re: Coachmen M-Series small travel trailer | Ernie | Its right up my alley, and Im moving from a 1701 Starcraft to something with more comfort and weight wise is great |
| Re: Coachmen Shasta Airflyte travel trailer | Sheila | I saw this this New Shasta Airflyte at a RV show recently. I'm very partial to small trailers. This was the most stunning trailer there, hands down. The interior is simply beautiful with the woodwork and craftsmanship. The floor is beautiful and very retro. The size is great. With Coachmen selling, I wonder if this is the only year we will see this trailer built? |
| Coachmen Freelander | JT | Look at the new Coachmen Freelander on the Sprinter Chassis, it's in the 60s and yes they do get great fuel mileage |
| Re: Coachmen Capri Micro | Dan | If you go to the Coachmen RV site, they don't even have a link for the Capri Micro model. What is up with that?? |
| 2004 Coachmen Concord 235S | Renee | We bought a used 2004 Concord 235S n 2005. It's a perfect size for two adults (sometimes with 2 grandkids). It drives like an SUV and has plenty of power going up hills. We've driven it places you wouldn't think of taking a big rig. We looked at a lot of B+ RV's before we decided on this unit and we love it! |
| Re: Coachmen Shasta travel trailer | Scott Allen | I restored a '62 Airflyte several years ago and we camped all over Southwest Washington in it. I'd buy this new trailer but no propane...I don't see the point in spending $20k when you have to stay in a parking lot next to a plug. |
| Re: Coachmen Shasta travel trailer | rich in Va | I have a 1966 Shasta 13 ft---I am rebuilding the interior---it's a no frills unit--no bathroom-no furnace -no water heater--just stove and a little water no grey tank---i will add that.
rich.

| Re: Coachmen Shasta travel trailer | Paul Rosman | I'm thinking about buying a shasta, looks good. I like the old style look of it but love the modern interior. Great job coachmen. |
| Re: Coachmen Prism class C motorhome | David | Something this size would be perfect for one person; but, way too fancy and expensive to consider. A simple plan on this chassis would be perfect; at half the price. |
| Re: Coachmen Prism class C motorhome | paulny | Hmmm,,,, They claim 17 to 19mpg, that means in the real world it might get 11 to 14mpg. To much ART-DECO!! If I am going to spend over 100K for a motorhome I want some walking around room inside and a bed with room for two adults. Good-Luck Coachmen!! I will be looking for the next year end meeting minutes to see how this flies, esspecially your QC report on the Prism. |
| Re: Coachmen Shasta travel trailer | Pam K | We've had our 2005 Shasta since new and have not had any problems. We find there's plenty of room and there's even plenty of storage room. I wouldn't want to spend long long periods in it but it's perfect for weekends. We pull it with our Ford Excursion with no problems. |
| 2007 Coachmen Concord 300TS | Tom | I have had my 2007 Concord 300TS for two years. With the exception of some minor plumbing problems initially the coach has been trouble free. It is roomy, comfortable and has plenty of power. I tow a 2003 Buick Century and have had no problems. The ride is comfortable and I am very pleased with the quality of the unit. I agree with two previou comments. 1. The bathroom could be a little larger it is pretty tight. (Minor inconvenience) 2. Leveling jacks would be a real plus. |
| 2008 Coachmen Blast toy hauler | Mike | I took delivery of a 2008 model 210 MPH Blast the last week of December 07. My wife does craft shows and we use it to haul product and sleep. Most of the time we dry camp and have used it successfully in cold weather with a few modifications. (PA, MD, De) I opted not to take the ONAN generator offered in some packages, I bought a Honda EV3000 that runs everything just fine and is much quieter. The gray water tank is a little small but I pump the gray into the black when I need extra capacity. My dealer quickly addressed minor workmanship issues. I couldn’t be more pleased with this purchase. Coachmen toy haulers are excellent value. |
| 2004 Coachmen Concord 235 | Update from George | We've had our 2004 Concord 235 for about a year and have had very few problems with it. The construction appears to be very good and it is a pleasure to drive compared to the bus type Dolphin. Compared to other Coachmen products, this seems to be an unusually well-built rig. Wish I had the 300 with three slides, but maybe later. Would recommend. |
| 2008 Coachmen Spirit of America | Ken Arlington | We have a 2008 Coachmen Spirit of America and really love it. We got a great price and it's a great trailer |
| 2007 Coachmen Concord 3000TS | Phredsee | Bought the '07 300TS and really enjoy just about everything about it. Plenty of room w/3 slides, sleeping area is fine but bathroom could be larger (small price to pay overall).
Absolute pleasure to drive around, including pulling toad. Plenty of power and quality is excellent so far. Highly recommend it. |
| 2005 Coachmen Concord 275DS | LWissel | We bought our 27' 2005 275DS concord new in 05 and it has the diesel power stroke. It's a little tight for space but we do get good mileage 15-19mpg with toad jeep wrangler. I try to keep the water and holding tanks down to minimum for trips and fill at destination. We had a roof leak and generator problem fixed at dealer. We are having problems with the exterior skin of the coach. Manufacture warranty did repair and had unit for long time. We really like the unit and the way it drives. We have property in the back country we travel to and it is easy to handle. The one thing it should have is the auto levelers. Getting setup level is a pain in the butt. |
| Re: Coachmen Prism | Homer | I have severe doubts about the mileage factor. The coach looks great, but they have kicked it into the high dollar range. What you save in a few dollars of gas is eaten up by the high cost. Not what we need right now. |
| Re: Coachmen Prism | John K | 17 to 19 miles per gallon sounds really good to me, I get 7 mpg in my class A. I'd like to see a floorplan but it looks good for the price. |
| Re: Coachmen Capri Micro | Robert Bathgate | We are looking for a little larger trailer than our Aliner Cabin A-3 that we own. Ours is a wet-bath. We would rather have the larger bathroom. We do not have a antenna on top either. A rubber roof would be nice too. Cable ready and a water purification system would be nice also. Coachmen looks good. |
| 2008 Coachmen Wyoming | Brian | Picking it up on wed. anyone have any input? Interior and exterior are beautiful. Based upon your experiences, would you buy one of this manufacturer's RVs again?: Yes. Rating: 5/5. |
| Re: 2007 Coachmen Concord | dale | The only negative comment I have is; I don't care for the stove next to the sofa. It could be hazardous & a cleaning problem. |
| RE: Holiday Rambler, Tiffin Allegro Bus, Coachmen | Karl | Susan. What has your experience been with the cross country, now that you have had it a while? |
| 2004 Coachmen Concord | George | I'll be picking up a used 2004 Concord 235, downsizing from a '99 35-foot Dolphin. The Dolphin is just too big to unwieldy on the road (for me, anyway). Trying to take it down tree-lined streets was an adventure. I'm hoping to get good service with the Concord and be able to take it places I couldn't take the Dolphin. Will update later. |
| 2006 Coachmen Sportscoach Encore 40TS | Ken P | This is a great coach for the money. Inside it feels more expensive than others we looked at around the same price. 330 cat engine - no problems and plenty of power. We've had some coach problems but all have been dealt with to our satisfaction. A paint section needed treatment and an inverter fault was corrected. Our biggest headache was a bad water leak but that was dealt with quickly and a section of carpet replaced. Based upon your experiences, would you buy one of this manufacturer's RVs again?: Yes. Rating: 5/5. |
| 2005 Coachmen Sportscoach Encore | Rhonda G | This is a great coach with good looks and plenty of power. This was a special anniversary edition to celebrate their 40th year building coaches. We have the 35 foot front kitchen model with 2 slides. A really nice coach that I would really recommend. We've had a few electrical problems but other than that it's given us really good service with no really major things. Based upon your experiences, would you buy one of this manufacturer's RVs again: Yes. Rating 5/5 |
| 2008 Coachmen Blast toy hauler | Chuck | Bought a 2008 a few months back. Tows great behind a Durango with the 4.7 OHC V-8. But I must say the hardware inside leaves a LOT to be desired. Door hinges on bathroom are bending. Hinges on right side bed pulled out of the bed bottom. And that was with a 130 pound woman sleeping on it. And when we first used it we found out 100 miles from nowhere the hot water to the shower was plumbed to the toilet......lol |
| Holiday Rambler, Tiffin Allegro Bus, Coachmen | Susan L | We have owned 5 RV's our Holiday Rambler was a real lemon. The Allegro Bus from Tiffin that was the last one that we owned was the best most wonderful RV we have ever had. We just bought a new Coachmen, I would love to hear from people that own the Crosscountry's to see how they like them and what kind of problems if any they have had. Ours is a 2006 |
| Re: Coachmen Blast toy hauler | mdhandyman | Sure would like to see it inside |
| Re: Coachmen Blast toy hauler | Chris Carnforth | I looked at one of these in Melbourne Florida, only 15' long but with a shower, marine toilet and basic kitchen. The finish was really good for something so basic. Still thinking about it. |
| Re: Coachmen Aurora fullwall slide | Kenny K | We have the 2006 Aurora 31' with 2 slides and the workhorse V6. Like it but wished we'd waited a few months for the full wall slide. Looks wonderful. Maybe we'll trade one day but you lose so much on trade in!! |
| Re: 2007 Coachmen Concord | Walt Kenning | We have a 2005 Concord that we traded for our 2002 40' Fleetwood American Dream. The Fleetwood was just too big, too expensive to own and operate and too many problems. We looked at everything we could in smaller coaches and decided on the Concord. For a start, it gets about 13 mpg compared to the Fleetwood 7 mpg (if we were lucky). We love it!!! We've had almost ZERO problems in almost 2 years. At this stage with the American Dream we'd had dozens of problems. Unless you're a fulltimer why would you want a 40' monster, our Concord is great for touring. 2 thumbs up!!! |
| Re: 2007 Coachmen Capri Micro | Margaret | I think it's very basic and easy to tow, great for a young couple who want to travel. Not much use for me as a fulltimer but I would have loved it when I was younger and it's affordable. |
| Re: 2007 Coachmen Capri Micro | John M | I think it's perfect for a weekend getaway without the need for a special tow vehicle. I think the dry bath feature is a great improvement over the small RVs where the toilet is included with the shower space. |
| Re: Coachmen Concord | Sonia Bruce | This is a really nice coach. The 3 slides on the floorplan shown look great. We have a 2005 Concord 275DS with 2 slides and we like it very much. The large bay window at the back is really nice. The quality and fittings of the Concord are good. We had a few electrical problems to start with but they were all taken care of by the dealer. I wish we had the 3 slides shown in the floorplan but all in all I like our 2 slide coach very much and I recommend the Concord. |
